PV-driven microgrid for hydrogen, cooling
The University of French Polynesia has built a PV-driven hydrogen generation unit that combines a hydrogen chain with a thermochemical unit. The latter is used to recover waste heat from the electrolyzer and fuel cell to enable deferred cooling production for air conditioning.
Australia commissions molten silicon energy storage system
Australia’S 1414 Degrees has commissioned a demonstration module featuring its thermal energy storage tech. It harnesses the high latent heat properties of silicon to provide a potential zero-carbon solution for use in high-temperature industries.
Solar and wind together overhaul global hydro capacity
The latest set of clean energy statistics compiled by the International Renewable Energy Agency signal a changing of the guard when it comes to clean power, with legacy hydropower facilities overtaken by new intermittent renewables.
